You’ve probably heard that Japanese matcha takes center stage in the world of green tea, but have you ever given Chinese matcha a try? In this review, we delve into an intriguing find – Wushiling (Isuzu) Pro Matcha, a promising Chinese brand that offers a unique green tea experience.
While on a recent trip to China, I stumbled upon this 50g tin of matcha on Taobao. With limited reliable recommendations for Chinese matcha, I was drawn to its packaging – a small quantity, pricier than usual, and presented in a traditional tin. The brand name, 五十铃 (Wushiling), translates to Isuzu, a name that might be familiar to those versed in Japanese, but let’s focus on the tea.
The matcha was measured at 2g, whisked with a bamboo whisk and 85C water for a minute, before adding about 80mL of room temperature water. The result? A delightful cup with a robust umami profile, delicate notes, and very little bitterness – a quality that often hinders my enjoyment of usuchas in iced oat lattes. Surprisingly, this matcha was so good that I would drink it plain without added milk!
1. Wushiling Pro Matcha offers a unique green tea experience with its rich umami profile and delicate flavor. 2. This Chinese matcha is priced slightly higher than average due to its smaller quantity and premium packaging. 3. For those who enjoy the taste of usuchas, this could be a promising alternative to traditional Japanese matcha.
